The economics of war explained by @nicolange , the former chief of executive staff at the German Ministry of Defense @Verteidigungsministerium:
“Scenes like this are playing out throughout the Persian Gulf battlespace: a small drone approaches a US destroyer at high speed; the vessel sounds the alarm, and its defenses react immediately with expensive sensors, missiles, and maneuvers. An above-water drone costs a few thousand dollars. The response can cost millions. And the destroyer vessel is just one of many that require multi-domain defenses.
This reveals a new economy of war. Cheap beats expensive. Mass beats perfection. […]
Those who assert themselves militarily at too high a cost also lose at the same time. And those who lose cheaply remain capable of acting in the end. Those who lose too expensively lose too much anyway. In the Gulf, we are currently seeing how this can change the geopolitical balance of power.”
